"Electric Youth" lyrics

by Debbie Gibson

Zappin' it to ya
The pressure's ev'rywhere
Going right through ya
The fever's in the air
Oh yeah, it's there!
Don't underestimate the power
Of a life time ahead
Electric youth
Feel the power
You see the energy comin' up
Coming on strong
The future only belongs to the future itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true you can’t fight it
Live by it, the next generation
It's electric
We've got the most time to make the world go 'round
Oh can you spare a dime?
Place your bet on our sound
Come back to town
Don’t lose sight of potential master mind
Remember when you were young
Electric youth
Feel the power
You see the energy comin' up
Coming on strong
The future only belongs in the hands of itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true you can't fight it
Live by it, the next generation
It's electric
We do what comes naturally
You see now wait for the possibility
Don’t you see a strong resemblance to yourself?
Don't you think what we say is important?
Whatever it may be
The fun is gonna start with me
'Cause I'm bringing it back
Electric youth
Feel the power
You see the energy comin' up
Coming on strong
The future only belongs to the future itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true you can't fight it
Live by it
The next generation
It's electrifying
Electric youth
Feel the power
You see the energy comin' up
Coming on strong
The future only belongs in the hands of itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true you can't fight it
Live by it
The next generation
Electric youth
Feel the power
You see the energy comin' up
Coming on strong
The future only belongs to the future itself
And the future is electric youth
It's true you can't fight it
Live by it
The next generation
Inflation, flirtation, relaxation, elation
Generation of an electric youth

"Electric Youth" is the
seventh single from American singer-songwriter-actressDeborah
Gibson, and the second from her second album Electric
Youth (LP 81932). Produced by Fred Zarr and
engineered by Phil Castellano for BiZarr Music, Inc., it became one of her most
famous songs, peaking at number eleven on the Billboard
Hot 100 and fourteen on the UK
Singles Chart. Douglas Breitbart was
executive producer.Gibson had
written the song as a statement about how young people of that era were seen
and how their ideas were often ignored. As a teenager herself, she was a firm
believer that the beliefs and ideas held by young people were just as important
as those held by adults and the song reminded people of this. It also reminded
them that the current youth would become the next generation of adults.The video
accompanying the song was nominated for a Moonman at the 1989 MTV Video Music
Awards for Best Art Direction in a video. (source: Wikipedia)
